President’s Corner
On June 1, 2017, I retired from the United
States Army after 34 years of service in uni-
form. It is my desire to continue to serve our
Army, our Soldiers and their families as the
President of the Association of the United
States Army (AUSA) Captain Meriwether
Lewis Chapter.
From 2013 to 2015, during my time as the I
Corps Chief of Staff, I personally witnessed the
many invaluable initiatives the Chapter spon-
sored in full support of our Soldiers and their
family—from Operation Ham Grenade and
Turkey Drop to increased investments in Sol-
dier recognition during the annual Army Birth-
day celebration. An example of this recogni-
tion is the Chapter’s initiative to enable the I
Corps leadership to routinely recognize the best
Company Commander and First Sergeant
Team. Programs such as these are critical in
maintaining a close connection with the units
on Joint Base Lewis– McChord (JBLM).
Maintaining this strong relationship with JBLM
leadership is a top priority. Our amazing
From left: Chapter President Stephen Myers, Immedi-
ate Past President Amy Tiemeyer and University Place
Subchapter President Brenna Johnson
AUSA subchapters time and again have suc-
cessfully connected our local community to
the Soldiers assigned to JBLM. Supporting
Soldiers during overseas deployments with
care packages and welcome home ceremonies
are now part of the fabric of our local com-
munity. Our AUSA subchapter activities
provide the grassroots link to fully enable the
JBLM Community Connector program. Em-
powering and supporting our subchapters is
vital in ensuring the Chapter remains fully
vested in effectively supporting our Soldiers
on JBLM.
Key to effective chapter and subchapter
program initiatives is a healthy cadre of ac-
tive members and local cooperate sponsor-
ship. Continuing to invest in this area will be
critical in moving our programs forward. In-
creased AUSA membership will also enable
an effective veteran network across all of
South Puget Sound to increase collaboration
and communication amongst the numerous
veteran support programs.
The strength of our Army is our Soldiers,
the strength of our Soldiers is our families.
Developing and fostering new programs sup-
port our Army families will increase AUSA
awareness and effectiveness throughout our
local community. I look forward to explor-
ing new initiatives for our chapter to support
our Army families.
I am excited about the opportunity to be-
come a contributing member of the Captain
Meriwether Lewis Chapter, as your President.
I vow to do my very best to serve this organi-
zation, our Soldiers and their families.

Chapter Thanks Past President Amy Tiemeyer &
Vice President Eric Kantor for their Two Years of Leadership
In late June, the Chapter thanked the Imme-
diate Past President, Amy Tiemeyer, and the
Vice President, Eric Kantor, for their dedicat-
ed two years of volunteer service to the Chap-
ter. During their leadership, the Chapter con-
tinued to thrive and supported hundreds of
soldiers during multiple deployments, return
homes, and established successful profession-
al development and family programs.
Amy recently accepted a new role as the Di-
rector of the Operation Shield Foundation
where she will work to build a successful non-
profit. During her personal time, she will con-
tinue to support the chapter. You can learn
more about the Operation Shield Foundation
by visiting: OperationShieldFoundation.org.
The Chapter wishes both Amy and Eric the
very best with their future endeavors and
again, appreciates their leadership during the
past two years.

AUSA Zombie Apocalypse 5K Membership Drive
The Chapter held its annual AUSA Zombie Apocalypse 5k
in June. Over 150 runners and walkers gathered together at
Fort Steilacoom Park to attempt to outsmart the large num-
bers of Zombies looming in the fields and bushes. The goal
was to avoid an untimely death and the participants had sev-
eral chances to live a long and healthy life with their family
members and friends. Only a small handful survived, but
those who did, will never be the same. Those who didn’t sur-
vive are now Zombies and will return next year with the end
goal of adding more to their clan. When the 5K ended, the
smoke filled air smelled badly of rotting flesh and the partici-
pant’s bloodied faces were void of the determination they
once had. Next year, the battle will continue...Special thanks
to all of the monetary and in-kind sponsors who made the day
enjoyable for all of the participants. The participants will
also enjoy the benefits of AUSA membership, which sup-
ports Soldiers and their families on Capitol Hill. Learn more
about membership by contacting Jon McCoy at jpmc-
The Chapter couldn’t make the run possible without the
support of our generous sponsors and its dynamic planning
committee: Susan Krogh, Ron Krogh, Amy Tiemeyer, Kelly
Colter, Stephanie Prosser, and Herb Schmeling.

News from AUSA National
Modernizing the Army would be the prima-
ry focus of Ryan McCarthy if confirmed to be
undersecretary of the Army, and he describes
himself as “uniquely qualified” for the job.
The former Army officer, congressional
staff member and defense industry executive
said there are many challenges. “While clearly
focused on near-term readiness, I will make it
a priority to improve the modernization of the
force in order to stay ahead of the capabilities
of near-peer capabilities,” he told the Senate
Armed Services Committee during a hearing
about his nomination.
McCarthy also promised to work to
“maintain our quality volunteer force and pro-
vide soldiers, families and civilians the quality
of life they deserve.”
The post of Army undersecretary traditional-
ly is one of being responsible for day-to-day
operations and to be chief management officer.
McCarthy said he would “work with the acqui-
sition community and industry to ensure the
Army makes prudent and cost-informed deci-
sions to enable investments addressing the ca-
pability gaps identified by the Army leader-
ship.”
“The Army must adopt a modernization
strategy that ensures our continued overmatch
of near-peer capabilities and permits us to
make difficult decisions on future capability
requirements,” he said.
“As a former Army officer and combat vet-
eran, I understand how to build effective
Undersecretary Nominee Promises

teams and that leadership is required to
achieve desired results,” McCarthy said. “I
was privileged to serve as a close assistant
to one of the most talented and reform-
minded secretaries of defense, Robert
Gates. Outside of the military, I have served
in the financial industry, as a professional
staff member in the House of Representa-
tives, and as a senior executive in the de-
fense industry. Now, having worked busi-
ness processes from both Pentagon and ci-
vilian industry perspectives, I believe I am
uniquely qualified to run the business end
of the Army.” Courtesy of AUSA National
The House of Representatives has
passed an almost $700 billion defense
policy bill that breaks Budget Control Act
spending caps to allocate additional mon-
ey to unfunded priorities, like increasing
Army troop strength.
The measure, HR 2810, includes a
base budget of $631.5 billion, an amount
$28.5 billion more than requested by
President Donald Trump, plus $64.6 bil-
lion for overseas contingency operations.
About $4 billion of the added money
pays for an increase of 17,000 soldiers:
10,000 in the Regular Army, 4,000 in the
Army National Guard and 3,000 in the
Army Reserve. (Continued on Page 9)

ed States Army? If not, why? Anyone can be-
come a member and be involved within your
local community. The Association of United
States Army (AUSA) is a non-profit organiza-

diers on a political level, advocating for bene-
fits and discussing issues that impact our sol-

community involvement.
Jon McCoy, Chapter Director of
Individual Membership
The result would be 486,000 Regular Army,
347,000 Army National Guard and 202,000 Ar-
my Reserve soldiers, a level that would be
achieved by Oct. 1, 2018.
The bill also adds money for armored brigade
combat team modernization to try to pick up the
pace on improvements. For example, the bill
provides $442.8 million more than the Trump
budget to buy the latest version of the Abrams
tank, $122 million more to buy Hercules recov-
ery vehicles and $111 million more to purchase
modernized Bradley Fighting Vehicles.
The House bill also authorizes a 2.4 percent
increase in basic pay and drill pay that would
take effect Jan. 1. That is slightly larger than the
2.1 percent requested by the Defense Department
and the White House.
This is not the final word. The Senate has not
passed its version of the 2018 National Defense
Authorization Act. Any differences between the
House and Senate bills must be reconciled before
a final measure passes, and differences with the
Trump administration would also need to be re-
solved. Courtesy of AUSA National
